I am reading about Islam in India. The wiki article states it was initially spread through trade, and Islam is now the second largest religion in India. But how? How does trade influence the spread of religion? Did these early traders talk about religion and the Indian traders like it better than theirs? Or did they get deals with Islamic traders?

Because they didn’t just trade physical goods, they traded ideas, art, culture, ect. Also, I’m not a historian, but I’m sure Islam gained a lot of followers during the end of the Mughal Empire when Hindus were being forcibly converted. It was under this oppression that sparked the creation of Sikhism.
